D-Link USB FM Radio
How much is this thing worth?
I found some on eBAY but the ones that shipp worldwide goes for up to 65$
I think this is a little bit pricy for my taste. Never the less the D-link radio is the only radio supported in Medicar. The only thing stopping me from installing my Carputer now is the fact that I can't listen to the morning show on the radio while driving to work 
But 65$ seems like a lot for a small piece of hardware that most people say suck #¤%¤"#!
How bad is it?

I just sold a extra one I had on eBay for $35 shipped.
I didn't like the recpeption on this one. I'm going to try other brands.
Radiator is the software you want your FM tuner to work with.

Seth's product?
What is Seth's product? Does it work with the D-Link USB FM?
I still have one in my car. Just had a extra in the house that I sold.

It's the successor to the d-link fm radio.

One option is to get ahold of a Icom PCR-100.
It's a pc controlled scanner, it covers everything from 0.2Khz to 1.3Ghz, AM/FM/WFM etc.
The only downside is that I haven't found the specifications for the serialcommands yet, but there is atleast two programs that are written by none-icom people. The first is TalkPCR and the second is java-radio (I lost the URL).
I will try to install this in my upcoming carpc and are planning to write a driver program for linux.
It should be nice if I complete it, FM radio, POLICE, Analouge phones etc all in the same box

Except the FM demodulator doesn't do stereo.
